By the Numbers: Stephen Curry
The 29-year-old point guard has been smashing NBA records since he was drafted in 2009. He’s led the Golden State Warriors to the 2015 and 2016 NBA Finals—and a championship in 2015. Part of Curry’s show-stopping success is due to his ability to make 3-point shots—any shot from behind the arc marked at each end of the court. This makes the two-time reigning MVP a force in the NBA.
Read on to learn more about Curry. Then plug in the numbers to solve the equation below and reveal a final fact.
